The Story

After a tireless 3-year battle with pancreatic cancer, Linda's fight has come to an end. Linda has been Blessed in her end of days to be surrounded by family and friends. She finally relocated permanently to Northern, VA on November 5th to be close to family.Unfortunately, the cost of her fight included many costly medications. In the chaos, her life insurance policy was inadvertently lapsed and canceled. On top of the move, we have unfortunately found ourselves now in a position of requesting financial assistance for her burial services.

Words cannot express the incredible amount of amazingness this woman has brought into this world. If you've met her, you've felt her spirit. She's a fighter, a lover, a passionate inspirer. She's the fire in your soul, the warmth in your heart, the spice in your taco. She's devoted her life to her love of theatre, education, and fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. She's inspired and changed a countless number of lives.
